Xylarians Withdraw 1990

The Xylarians began their influence by secretly collaborating with Indigenous tribes across the Americas. They shared subtle knowledge on sustainable agriculture, indirectly encouraging the widespread cultivation of maize, beans, and squash. By embedding advanced methods into oral traditions, the Xylarians ensured that Indigenous civilizations thrived. Their guidance may also explain the advanced urban planning of cities like Cahokia, long before European settlers arrived.

The Xylarians viewed the American Revolution as a pivotal moment for testing their experiment. They ensured the dissemination of revolutionary ideas by influencing pamphleteers like Thomas Paine. Common Sense, with its impassioned call for independence, echoed Xylarian principles of self-determination and unity.On the battlefield, stories of mysterious glowing lights—later dismissed as swamp gas or weather phenomena—may have been Xylarians observing or subtly assisting key battles, such as the crossing of the Delaware. Some accounts even describe General Washington's unexpected military strategies as "divinely inspired," though skeptics claim extraterrestrial guidance.

The American Revolution: 1775-1783

The Xylarians found allies among Enlightenment thinkers, who were unusually receptive to abstract concepts. Figures like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were reportedly inspired by dreams—dreams subtly implanted by the Xylarians. Franklin's fascination with electricity, for instance, may have stemmed from cryptic encounters with Xylarian emissaries disguised as fellow inventors. His kite experiment, legend says, was influenced by schematics "appearing" in his notes.

Xylarians took a keen interest in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, seeing parallels with struggles on their own world. During key moments, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955-1956) and the March on Washington (1963), Xylarians used subtle tactics to protect prominent figures like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. They deployed cloaked drones to monitor potential threats and ensure large gatherings remained safe. In some cases, whispers of mysterious "guardian angels" spread among activists, often attributed to divine intervention but linked to Xylarian actions.

In 1500, a cloaked alien vessel from the planet Xylar-7 arrived in Earth's orbit. The Xylarians, a highly advanced species with a fascination for cultural development, had been monitoring human civilizations for centuries. Their mission: to subtly influence humanity's growth, ensuring the eventual unification of the planet under principles of equality and innovation. The Americas, with its diverse cultures and unspoiled ecosystems, became their primary focus.

The Arrival: 1500

When World War II erupted, the Xylarians realized the conflict posed an existential threat not only to Earth but to their long-term experiment with humanity. They intervened decisively, ensuring the Allied victory while curbing the destructive potential of Axis forces.

In 1949, as tensions with the Soviet Union rose, Xylarians subtly nudged Allied leaders toward forming a mutual defense organization. Their concern stemmed from the possibility of nuclear war destabilizing Earth’s delicate balance. Through encrypted communications passed as human intelligence, the Xylarians underscored the importance of collective security, leading to NATO's foundation. They monitored early NATO operations, ensuring its strategies avoided reckless escalations.

The Creation of NATO (1949)

As the Nuremberg Trials commenced in November 1945, prosecuting Nazi war criminals, subtle Xylarian influence emerged. Using advanced memory-scanning technology, Xylarians provided Allied prosecutors with undeniable evidence of war crimes. This technology, disguised as "captured documents," allowed for the meticulous reconstruction of events, ensuring convictions based on irrefutable proof. Despite their role, Xylarians maintained their covert operations, understanding humanity's need for justice to appear self-driven.

The Nuremberg Trials (1945-1946)

When the Korean War erupted in 1950, Xylarian drones were spotted by both sides, disguised as unusual weather phenomena. Xylarians focused on minimizing civilian casualties by using their technology to discreetly warn villagers of impending attacks. On occasion, they sabotaged key weapon systems when battles threatened to escalate into full-scale nuclear conflict. Xylarians continued to work behind the scenes to monitor armistice talks, culminating in the uneasy truce of 1953.

The stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression marked one of America’s darkest hours. While the Xylarians refrained from direct intervention, they worked behind the scenes to inspire resilience and innovation.During the New Deal era, the Xylarians subtly nudged Franklin D. Roosevelt and his advisors toward bold economic experiments. Programs like the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) benefited from what seemed like "miraculous" engineering breakthroughs, guided by whispered inspirations. For instance, the construction of massive dams and electrification projects appeared to blend human ingenuity with subtle extraterrestrial insights.Inventions of the 1930s, such as advanced farming equipment and early computing prototypes, were similarly influenced. The Xylarians sought to prepare humanity for the technological leaps necessary in the coming decades while reinforcing the idea that collective effort could overcome even the gravest challenges.

The Birth of the Thirteen Colonies: 1607-1750

As European settlers established colonies, the Xylarians influenced pivotal decisions to promote collaboration over conflict. One of their notable contributions was introducing the concept of federalism, disguised as "new ideas" in colonial assemblies. The establishment of institutions like the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1619 hinted at their subtle hand. The Xylarians saw the colonies as a testing ground for a democratic system.

The Xylarians also provided covert technological assistance to farmers and tradespeople. Early American blacksmiths, for example, experienced mysterious "inspirations" for more efficient tools and processes, ensuring the colonies' rapid economic development.

When European explorers began arriving in the Americas, the Xylarians saw an opportunity to shape the coming cultural exchange. Through small, unnoticed interventions, they "nudged" the trajectories of key figures like Christopher Columbus and Hernán Cortés. For instance, the introduction of advanced navigational tools—seemingly of terrestrial origin—enabled European ships to traverse oceans with unprecedented precision. These tools were disguised as rudimentary compasses and astrolabes.

The Age of Exploration

In the months leading to Israel's declaration of independence on May 14, 1948, Xylarians secretly mediated between conflicting parties, hoping to prevent large-scale violence. While unable to resolve the deep-seated tensions entirely, they subtly influenced the drafting of agreements that allowed the establishment of the state. They remained in the region, hoping to mediate between Israelis and Palestinians in the decades to come.

The Creation of Israel (1948)

The drafting of the U.S. Constitution marked the culmination of Xylarian efforts. They ensured that framers like James Madison and Alexander Hamilton were attuned to ideas of checks and balances and the division of powers. Some conspiracy theories even suggest that the "Great Seal of the United States" features subtle nods to Xylarian symbols, reflecting their enduring influence.By 1800, the Xylarians had achieved their goal: a functioning nation built on principles that could eventually unify the planet. Their presence diminished as the fledgling United States began to thrive. Still, whispers of their influence persisted, with some claiming their guidance will return in times of great need.

The Constitution and Beyond: 1787-1800

The Xylarians viewed the Space Race as a crucial moment in humanity's development. When the Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957, they saw it as humanity's first step into the cosmos. They subtly assisted both the U.S. and Soviet programs, ensuring that no catastrophic failures occurred. During the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, Xylarians observed closely, prepared to intervene if necessary. Some claimed to see unexplained lights on the Moon during Neil Armstrong's landing, which Xylarians later denied as their involvement.

By the late 1980s, Xylarians were deeply embedded in efforts to end the Cold War. They subtly influenced leaders like Mikhail Gorbachev, urging reforms such as glasnost and perestroika. On November 9, 1989, as crowds gathered to tear down the Berlin Wall, Xylarians disabled surveillance systems and pacified tense border guards, ensuring the event remained peaceful. They regarded the wall’s fall as a critical step toward unity, observing from above as Earth moved closer to a future of global cooperation.

The Fall of the Berlin Wall (1989)

By the end of the Cold War, Xylarians began withdrawing their direct involvement, believing humanity had grown more capable of navigating its challenges. They viewed their role not as saviors but as catalysts, providing occasional nudges while respecting humanity's autonomy.

Xylarians Withdraw

As the Great War erupted in Europe, the Xylarians reemerged from their observational slumber. They recognized the war as a pivotal moment for human civilization and sought to ensure that the United States played a decisive role in shaping the post-war order.When the United States entered the war in 1917, Xylarian emissaries discreetly influenced military innovation. They provided subtle enhancements to communication technologies, allowing for more effective coordination between American forces and their allies. The strange but revolutionary appearance of "trench radios," reportedly invented by human scientists, bore hallmarks of Xylarian design—compact, resilient, and ahead of their time.Their most daring intervention came during the Second Battle of the Marne in 1918. American troops reported seeing glowing orbs hovering above the battlefield, which some described as “phantom lights.” These were actually Xylarian reconnaissance drones, which transmitted crucial intelligence to Allied commanders. This information helped turn the tide of the battle and hastened the end of the war.After the war, the Xylarians influenced Woodrow Wilson’s vision of the League of Nations. Although the U.S. Senate rejected the League, the seeds of multilateral diplomacy were planted—a concept the Xylarians believed essential for global unity.

When U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall unveiled his economic recovery plan for Europe in 1948, the Xylarians discreetly provided guidance. Using their expertise in planetary rejuvenation, they suggested resource allocation strategies to rebuild infrastructure while promoting cooperation among nations. Unbeknownst to human leaders, Xylarians covertly transported drought-resistant seeds and synthetic materials to regions in dire need, accelerating Europe's recovery.
